Hi,
I am using trial vesion to make POC for our project. based on which we will decide wheather we can use CloverETL or not?
We use DB2 database when i tried to add connection for the same i am getting following error. I have the license jar with me but i dont know where i have to add the the jar in class path.
i get following error when i validate the connection.
I have used load driver from Jar option to add the drivers.
Driver name: com.ibm.db2.jcc.DB2Driver
Can’t connect to DB: [ibm][db2][jcc][10333][11649] No license was found. An appropriate license file db2jcc\_license\_\*.jar must be provided in the CLASSPATH setting.
Thanks!

Dear itstushar,
You may add your db2jcc\_license\_\*.jar on classpath in DB Connection wizzard, as illustrated here:

Please let me know if this does not help.
